Access: LARP

Access: LARP is here to provide resources to make LARP more accessible to all players. Players can have varying needs, stemming from disability or mental health concerns, that can make taking part in an event a potential challenge. However making an event accessible can be easy with just a little thought and guidance. Additionally there are things that players can do to make their games go more smoothly.Access: LARP provides guides and resources for both LARP organisers and players to help make our hobby more accessible.Remember, accessibility isn’t about making the game easier, it’s about making it just as challenging as for everybody else.

LARPfund

Many LARPs are no longer simple friends-in-the-forest affairs, but rather elaborate productions with significant production values, stunning venues with food and lodging included in the price. Organisers have also become more professional, and wisely less prone to take risks with their personal economies. Naturally, this means that price increases, often dramatically, and we have followed closely the ongoing discussions on event pricing over the last few years. Even if there still is a substantial amount of cheaper LARPs still available, almost all of the well-known, high-profile LARPevents are in the higher price range, and this threatens to create a sharp divide between those who can routinely afford them, and those who cannot.

Game organisers can apply for a number of subsidised tickets for their game. If granted, the fund will contribute up to 50% of the price of those tickets if they are sold. The organisers are expected to donate a share of their profits to the fund if the game generates a surplus. The prerequisites for subsidised tickets are that the person is in need of the subsidised ticket for some economical reason (organisers decide) and that the same person have not received a subsidised ticket the same year. People who don't larp regularly should be prioritised.

Larpfund currently operates in the Nordic countries and is constituted as a Swedish non-profit organisation

LARPwriter Summer School

The Larpwriter Summer School is a five-day intensive course in LARP design. It was organized for the first time in 2012, and repeated in 2013 and 2014. The 2015 event too place in Lithuania. The events are very much focused around the "Nordic LARP" design.

The goal of the summer school is to enable the participants to create and run their own larps. The school includes playing larps, attending lectures, participating in workshops and brainstorming ideas for possible larps. There is a special emphasis on educational larps, but they believe that the tools that create good larps can be applied broadly, and their toolbox will be useful for most kinds of larp design

The we-site also includes a range of resources for writers of LARP events

UK Nerf War

Let’s face it, Nerf Blasters are cool. We believe there is only one thing cooler, More powerful, better looking Nerf Blasters.

We undertake power modifications for any Nerf Blaster from the Nerf Secret Strike AS-1, right up to the mighty Nerf Havok EBF-25 Vulcan. With our blaster modifications, you can achieve an extra 5-10 metre range and we can even improve your Nerf blaster’s accuracy over this range. With the full automatic blasters such as the Nerf Stampede ECS and the Havok Fire Vulcan, we can more than double the fire rate. Combined with the power mods, you will be able to lay down a barrage of fire that will decimate your opponents.As well as performance modifications, we also have the skill and ability to modify the appearance of your Nerf Blasters. We are able to transform any Nerf Blaster from custom paint jobs through to full physical mods. One of our most popular requests is to recreate paint schemes from popular computer games such as ‘Call of Duty’ and ‘Halo’.

On top of all this, we also offer advice on everything Nerf. If you want to modify your Nerf arsenal yourself and you need some help, get in touch and we’ll help you as much as we can.
